They're a private school, specializing in co-ops, and are among the best in the country with connections to Fortune 500 companies. Students are able to gain 2 years of experience even before graduation.

Course Curriculum

7

Being a technology major, I am exposed to some of the best and latest software out there. We were inspired to work in teams and figure out problems, sometimes to form our own company and find ways to improve technical things, new case studies by Harvard, etc. The interview process, applications, resumes, and building networking connections.

Exams

SAT tests, IB Diploma, IGCSE exams, essays, recommendations, TOEFL, and community service.

Placement

10

Our placements are much higher than most universities and this is because of the cooperative experience. We have been able to build our relationships with various companies, gaining 2 years of experience before we graduate. There is a 90% chance that you will have a job before graduation because you are already trained in this field.

Internship

yes, many I worked for an engineering lab, Greenhat People in Barcelona - Spain, Medit in Dublin - Ireland, and GSK in Philadelphia.

Events

My school was located downtown and was an urban campus. Most of our buildings are new and made of glass. This helped us connect directly to thousands of companies in the city where it was easy to meet and make connections. We also have several organizations where students are encouraged to get involved with their peers, build on their leadership experience, and can work with professors and faculty.

Fees

$75,000 is the program fee.

Scholarship

No, I didn't receive any scholarship.

Faculty

7

As you move to higher classes, the class sizes decrease. There are usually several teaching assistants depending on the size of the class. On average, there were 20 students in my class.

Hostel

10

In the first year, we are required to live in the residential hall. In the second year, we can live in any of the affiliated buildings on campus. After the third year, we can stay wherever we want. Since we are in the city the rent is high depending on the type of apartment you get. I had an upper-class apartment with skyline views and my own room. I've lived in different places but my rent was always over $1100 not including utilities and electricity.
